A few months ago when I was struggling to come up with a suitable (and cheap) model to represent a Necron Warrior Wordbearer came up with the concept of a spider like robot: [link][link] Not bad for an Imperial dog

I loved it as it reminded me of the Tachikoma robots from a favourite anime series of mine called Ghost In The Shell. But then another obstacle for the project appeared which were the 5th edition rules. This caused me to ditch the spider robot because with the true line of sight rules a robot that short would be a nuisance for both me and my opponent.

Until now All the models so far were coming out well but I was beginning to have my doubts about the Interceptors model: [link] They were a pain to paint to a good standard and some Forgeworld stuff have the worst mould lines ever, which on a model this small is a problem. This made me reluctant to use them. Then I remember Wordbearers spider design. So I sat down with some bits and a new robot appeared

The Steel Scorpion! Overall it looked fantastic and was kind of cute due to its small size; however I could only fit two to a base. The way it works in regards to the scarabs jet bike movement is its ability to jump great distances making it very agile allowing it to get where its need quickly. Kind of like these robots but without the webbing: [link]

Now Ill let the people decide on whether I go for the Interceptors or the Steel Scorpions?
